Of waterfalls with a height of more than 50 m , Niagara Falls in Canada has the highest flow rate of any waterfall in the world.

The total average flow rate of the falls is 2.80×10³ m³/s and its average height is 52.0 m (Niagara Falls Live, 2017). Given that the density of water is 1.00×10³ kg/m³, calculate the average power output of Niagara Falls.

Answer:

Power output: W=1426.9MW

Explanation:

The power output of the falls is given mainly by its change in potential energy:

Q=-P_{tot}=-(P_{2}-P_{1})

The potential energy for any point can be calculated as:

P=m*g*h

If we consider the base of the falls to be the reference height, at point 2 h=0, so P2=0, and height at point 1 equals 52m:

Q=P_{1}=m*g*h

If we replace m with the mass rate M we obtain the rate of change in potential energy over time, so the power generated:

W=M*g*h=2.8*10^{3}m^{3}/s*1*10^{3}kg/m^{3}*9.8m/s^{2}*52m =1426.9MW

Nadya [2.5K]
Initial volume of mercury is
V = 0.1 cm³

The temperature rise is 35 - 5 = 30 ⁰C = 30 ⁰K.

Because the coefficient of volume expansion is 1.8x10⁻⁴ 1/K, the change in volume of the mercury is 
ΔV = (1.8x10⁻⁴ 1/K)*(30 ⁰K)(0.1 cm³) = 5.4x10⁻⁴ cm³

The cross sectional area of the tube is
A = 0.012 mm² = (0.012x10⁻² cm²).
Therefore the rise of mercury in the tube is
h = ΔV/A
   = (5.4x10⁻⁴ cm³)/(0.012x10⁻² cm²)
   = 4.5 cm

Answer: 4.5 cm

Determine the change in thermal energy of 100 g of copper (M = 63,5, Debye 348K) if it is cooled from
Setler [38]

Answer:

given,

mass of copper = 100 g

latent heat of liquid (He) = 2700 J/l

a) change in energy

Q = m Cp (T₂ - T₁)

Q = 0.1 × 376.812 × (300 - 4)

Q = 11153.63 J

He required

Q = m L

11153.63 = m × 2700

m = 4.13 kg

b) Q = m Cp (T₂ - T₁)

Q = 0.1 × 376.812 × (78 - 4)

Q = 2788.41 J

He required

Q = m L

2788.41 = m × 2700

m = 1.033 kg

c) Q = m Cp (T₂ - T₁)

Q = 0.1 × 376.812 × (20 - 4)

Q = 602.90 J

He required

Q = m L

602.9 = m × 2700

m =0.23 kg

Write a hypothesis about the effect of the fan speed on the acceleration of the cart. Use the "if . . . then . . . because . . .
iragen [17]
As an object accelerates i.e., change it's velocity(either direction or speed), the position of the object depends on two factor; If the acceleration was direction based then it might have a zero displacement for eg: if it travels in circle. or it might have a net displacement if it travels in a straight line, quantitatively
s = ut +  \frac{1}{2} at {}^{2}
where,
s = displacement
u = initial velocity
v = final velocity
a = acceleration
t = time

Now, for the hypothesis;
There is no direct relationship between fan speed and acceleration but anyways generally speaking if we do have a relationship that with more fan speed we have a larger displacement of air i.e., a more force i.e., greater acceleration
Thus, it can be said, well not exactly scientific, that with a greater fan speed there will be greater acceleration. if fan speed is increased then acceleration will be more.
